See the latest op ed by Professor David Pettigrew in the Hartford Courant. David, our Chairperson, has been working hard behind the scenes to help recognize Connecticut figures such as Hiram Bingham IV and Varian Fry.

The establishment of days such as Hiram Bingham IV Day, enacts a culture of remembrance in Connecticut that honors the memory of the victims and preserves the truth.

I participated in an international conference on Philosophy and Education at the Armenian State Pedagogical University in Yerevan yesterday. I was honored with a medal for my decades-long service promoting international exchange between the United States academic community and the university and other higher education institutions in Armenia. I have also organized symposia and workshops at the American University of Armenia as part of my Fulbright Scholar Award for 2025 to 2026. I look forward to continuing these collaborations in the years ahead.
